Because she pays her taxes and is entitled. Multi-millionaires are constantly asking why they should pay taxes in this country, yet they use our roads, labour educated by the state and so on. Ultimately, this debate leads to why should the rich pay taxes when they don't apparently benefit from all the good produced in this society because they can go private, travel around in helicopters and locate their businesses offshore. Think about it.

No man is an island.

Disability Living Allowance is NOT means tested and it passports support for a disabled person, such ad Occupational Therapy, adaptations and other help. Without it, a person is not considered to be disabled by many services in society. It is paid to help meet the needs of the disabled person. Cameron did claim it. My issue with him claiming it is that as soon as his son died, he went on the warpath against other disabled people who are not millionaires and are the poorest and most vulnerable in society and tried to brand them all fakers and scroungers. He is a hypocrite. Katie Price is right to secure the appropriate help for her son and without the status that DLA gives him, she is failing him for the rest of his life. If she lost all her money tomorrow, what help would he get then, if his mother had not set up the support for him before. I am disabled with a disabled daughter. My daughter has a statement and used to have school transport when she was younger.

There has just been a short discussion about this on 5 Live radio with two women taking part ...one for, one against. Samantha Brick was one of the women but I didn't catch which one she was!

Quite a lot of good points made here but many are misplaced as to what the issue is.KP we presume has millions and she has 1 extra because she chose to allow the state to pay these transport fees. Whatever the arguments may be for other people or the law or whatever the fact is if it was me I wouldn't have done so as it is a question of morality. It is a direct cost so she has the ability to control it and it is reasonable to state the council budget would be larger by her amount and available to other people who couldn't afford some care service.

If the council hadn't closed down Harvey's school which was nearby, the taxi and escort wouldn't have been required. They obviously weighed up the costs and found it viable to send all the children miles away and pay to get them there.

The point is the cost of the taxi to a school 50 miles away and nurse comes out of the education funding pot. So another child with learning disability might not get enough funding for the appropriate school and made to go to a local place that is not fit for their needs where they will deteriorate. This happens all the time. There is a fixed budget and more and more children requiring help. Katie is lucky she has the right school for her son named on his statement. So if she can lift a bit of that burden and pay for things like transport when for example she has earned 500,000 for 3 weeks work then that's a moral thing to do. No one is saying she should pay for school or hospital treatment etc but things like this why not.

She makes an argument in tonights highlights show that she prefers the money spent on Harvey than on the NY fireworks show on the Thames...but thats being silly...she's taking from a fixed pot for education and the fireworks are paid for by Londoners and she's not a london resident and this year they where charged a tenner each.

Also there is no way it would cost £1000 to privately hire a nurse and driver for each day. All she has to do is pay the full time wage of an nhs nurse for a year and just ask her to do the two drives a day five days a week and a nurse's starting salary is £21,000. Then pay a driver or taxi firm a yearly salary....even if both these peoples salaries cost her £60,000 a year and she used the driver and nurse for other things for the rest of the time, divide that over 195 school days and thats £300.07 a day. At the end of the day her son is entitled to it, and I wish him and her all the best and I think she is such a good mum to him. I just think people are trying to express that there is another side to this too if you can afford it and do get an alleged half a million for doing practically nothing. It's a double edged sword being famous and having your private life out there...she should not have mentioned this or all that stuff about her exes.

I agree with Katie Hopkins
